[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe how many of you are saying "she is dumb" and "she should have known better."

Is that what you would have said about women who fought for your right to vote in this country? How about the ones who broke the law to help the enslaved?

The ignorance in this thread is astounding.

Yes, she broke the law and the sentence is horrifying. What's more horrifying is the complete lack of human rights in Morocco, but especially women's rights. And you are just shrugging your shoulders. [/quote]

She wasn't doing anything for human or women's rights.  Trying to draw a parallel between suffragettes in their own country trying to ensure a vote and someone being wildly provocative in a country not their own?  Who exactly is ignorant again?[/quote]

"On 23 August 2009,[2] along with her friend Zineb El Rhazoui, she co-founded the Mouvement alternatif pour les libertés individuelles (MALI), a movement to defend individual freedoms in Morocco.[3][1] In Moroccan Arabic (Darija), mali also means "What's wrong with me?" or "What are you accusing me of?"; thus it constitutes a rhetorical question to opponents of freedom, telling them to mind their own business."

How do you think change happens? She is being provocative to draw attention to her movement and to the fact that individual freedoms (especially for women) are extremely lacking in Morocco. I'm sorry you know nothing you about her or Morocco. [/quote]
